The world faces challenges greater than any we have seen in the past, said Inter-Parliamentary Union President Duarte Pacheco. The Sustainable Development Goals and our Common Agenda are meant to address the challenges we face. However, we are halfway there, but we are falling far behind.
Believing that the 9th Global Conference of Young Parliamentarians will contribute to promoting the role of young parliamentarians in parliamentary activities, President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union Duarte Pacheco hopes that young parliamentarians will have very practical and effective exchanges to improve and change the common problems that our world is facing, towards a better future.
We don't have time to wait. We need to act now and act quickly, said Inter-Parliamentary Union President Duarte Pacheco.
As the world is advancing in technology, AI (Artificial Intelligence) is developing rapidly and most areas of our lives are now online, just through a small phone. President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union Duarte Pacheco said that we need to integrate this technological advancement into our work and life to achieve the sustainable development goals. Clearly, digitalization and innovation are very important opportunities.
For young parliamentarians born into the digital world, Inter-Parliamentary Union President Duarte Pacheco said they need to be at the forefront of applying technology to address the challenges we face, and can take the lead to proactively shape the desired future.
President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union Duarte Pacheco stressed that we need to continue to enhance the role of youth and young parliamentarians in the activities of the National Assembly. The IPU has also launched campaigns to get parliaments to make changes to have more young parliamentarians participating in the activities of the National Assembly. We need to attract more young people to our Parliaments.

With more young parliamentarians, our parliaments will be able to take the digital agenda to the next level, says Inter-Parliamentary Union President Duarte Pacheco. When the Covid-19 pandemic hit and we had to move a lot of our work online, young parliamentarians in many countries were the first to adapt and lead everyone else to adapt. In the new context, we are forced to change and innovate.
“When I was elected President of the IPU, it was through an online vote for the first time in the history of the IPU. This is an example of innovation, applying modern technology to work,” Inter-Parliamentary Union President Duarte Pacheco cited.
President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union Duarte Pacheco said that the application of technology in the activities of parliament is very important. It can bring higher efficiency, increase transparency in political activities, so that everyone can see and participate. Young parliamentarians can absolutely contribute to bringing about this wave of change.
While celebrating the potential of digital transformation and innovation, Inter-Parliamentary Union President Duarte Pacheco noted that we also need to use them responsibly, not forcing a one-size-fits-all model. Our global community is made up of many traditions, languages and perspectives. This diversity enriches our lives and can also lead us to greater innovation. When we combine the power of technology with cultural and ethical diversity, we unlock the possibilities for creativity and good problem solving.
As a parliamentarian, President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union Duarte Pacheco said that parliaments need to promote inclusiveness, intercultural dialogue and respect for diversity as drivers of sustainable development and peace. President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union Duarte Pacheco emphasized that today's conference is an opportunity to look beyond the problems and seek new solutions./.
